Here's anotherof myfavoritecakes. Another option using vegetables in a cake, carrot again and this time pineapple.I encourage you to do this cake if you love chocolate, I like these types of cakes because they are so fluffy and soft. And knowing that takes some vegetables makes me feel no so bad when I eat a piece. ;)Chocolate carrot cakefrom Cook and Food

Followingthe suggestionofmy friendV, thisweekend I baked again acarrot cake. I tooksome photos andhere arethe recipe. It's not really a creation of mine, I copied this recipe some time ago but I didn't pointed the source (sometimes I like to be more organized), so I would like to stress that it is my adaptation (quantities, remove and addingredients). If someone really know about the source please let me know.It is a cake that I usually bake because it's easy and I love cakes with vegetables as you know.

Preheat oven to 180 º.In a bowl mix the sifted flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinamon, ginger and nutmeg. In another bowl, beat eggs with oil and vanilla. Pour the dry mixture into the second bowl and mix with a spoon.Add the carrot and apple, mix until a homogeneous mass.Pour the batter into the parchment-lined loaf pan and bake for 40-50 min or until a wooden pick inserted in to the center comes out clean.I hopeyou enjoy it andif you have anyquestions pleaselet me know.
